In many cases, the end of the year gives you time to step back and take stock of the last 12 months. This is when many of us take a hard look at what worked and what did not, complete performance reviews, and formulate plans for the coming year. For me, it is all of those things plus a time when I u...

POST-FIRE TONGON HEADS BACK TO NORMAL
Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire, 19 January 2013 - Production at Randgold
Resources' Tongon mine in Cote d'Ivoire is returning to normal after a
fire in the mill section of its plant three weeks ago, the company said
today. Both mill circuits are expected to be fully operational within
2 weeks and, despite a series of setbacks, the mine produced 210 000
ounces of gold in 2012.
Speaking to journalists in Abidjan today, Randgold chief executive Mark
Bristow said Tongon exemplified the company's long-term vision and its
tenacity of purpose. The mine's development had been given the
go-ahead at a time of political volatility in Cote d'Ivoire; it had
been commissioned in the climate of confusion created by the disputed
presidential election; it had contended with the disruption of frequent
power outages; and now it was overcoming the effects of the fire."Tongon
represents the biggest single investment to date in this part
of Cote d'Ivoire, and when we made that investment, we invested not
only in a mine but in this country," Bristow said. "We are currently
exploring our extensive tenements elsewhere in Cote d'Ivoire and we
hope to discover further multi-million ounce gold deposits here and,
with the support of the government, to develop these into world-class
mines."
Bristow said Randgold's policy of partnering with its host countries
and sharing the value it created equitably among its stakeholders was
the key to its success in Africa."For this to work, however, it requires
our partners to share our own
long-term commitment to developing and operating sustainably profitable
mines and to building substantial gold mining industries in their
countries. It is for this reason that we encourage governments to
promulgate attractive mining codes for investors through competitive
and stable tax regimes," he said.
